Birding has been on the backburner of late due to other commitments; but, drove up to Glenaladale last week hoping that I might catch a glimpse of the Peregrine Falcons, no luck here, I walked along the river for two hours, saw some Wrens and an Eastern Yellow Robin and one black snake, I guess you could say the walk was good.
Then it was onto Beverley's rd, one hour there and not a sign of a bird except for a couple of Tree Creepers calling, didn't see them either.

Checked out Herb Guyatt reserve lots of wrens and Grey Fantails could hear the Kingfishers calling; but, no sightings. Then in front of me appeared a Golden Whistler, he just sat in the tree whilst I took some photos, and he was still there when I walked away.

Things are going bad when you start taking photos of Grey Fantails!!!!
Lake Guyatt is starting to dry up again, and there was the usual array of birds on the mud, Pelicans, Speckled Ducks, Spur winged Plovers and Black Duck to name a few. Then there was a noise in one of the gums, looked up and counted eight juvenile King Parrots (my day was made).

Further along I could hear the Clamorous Reed warblers, and was lucky to get this photo.

On to the Sale Common, things were equally quiet there, the Swamp Harrier's nest was empty and there were Pelicans in the distance, and one Darter in the Water.
